Maine has only two congressional districts, and while the boundary line is fairly jagged, it is not nearly along the lines of being a gerrymander.  I'll show you a few legislative beauties, however.

new Senate District 30: http://www.maine.gov/sos/cec/elec/apport/Senate/s30.pdf

new House District 91: http://www.maine.gov/sos/cec/elec/apport/House/h091.pdf

new House District 65 (this one is really bad): http://www.maine.gov/sos/cec/elec/apport/House/h065.pdf

Did they keep Kennebec the only split county?

Yes they did, but the split makes the first district portion of the county look like a beast's head.  To view a map of the districts, go to http://www.courts.state.me.us/news/Congress%20-%20Map%20(E).pdf or http://www.mainesenate.org/court/congress.html .
